ORIGINAL BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SONGS FEATURED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE IN WHICH LILLY AND THE TEAM REOPEN THE 1988 CASE INVOLVING FOUR HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS WHO ARE ALL SUSPECTS WHEN ONE OF THEM IS FOUND DEAD,
ON A REBROADCAST OF "COLD CASE," SUNDAY, JUNE 25

"8 Years" -- Lilly reopens the 1988 case involving four high school friends who are brought in for questioning when one of them is found dead, on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, Sunday, June 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Mark Pellington directed the episode that was written by Executive Producer and Creator Meredith Stiehm. (Originally broadcast 1/8/06)

Original Bruce Springsteen songs will be featured exclusively throughout the episode.

In 1980, four high school friends went off to pursue their dreams, but nothing ended up as planned and one was murdered in 1988. Now, Lilly and Danny get a tip about the murder that reveals how these friends' hopes and dreams unraveled as they faced the harsh realities of life.

The following nine original Bruce Springsteen songs from the 1980s will be heard throughout the entire episode:

"Because there are such vivid stories and characters in Bruce Springsteen's music, we decided to let the lyrics do a lot of the storytelling for us, instead of depending on dialogue, said Executive Producer and creator Meredith Stiehm. So in this case I chose the songs first, and then designed the story around them. 'No Surrender,' 'Bobby Jean,' 'Drive All Night' and six other songs help tell the story of four optimistic kids 'busting out of class' with big hopes and dreams, who hit harder times as the years go by. The episode also tracks the life and death of a young marriage, and what happens when 'hearts of fire grow cold.'"

"We often use music in the show to evoke a time period, she added, but Bruce Springsteen's music spans over 30 years, so we chose a specific span of time (1980-88) for this story. The '8 Years' of the episode includes music from four different albums: The River, Nebraska, Born in the USA and Tunnel of Love."
